True Meaning of Christmas' Spirit
On my way to church
The spirit of Christmas I met the other night,
All excited it was as the day of Jesus' birth
is coming.
In awe, I approached it and hesitantly
I asked:
" Could you, sacred spirit, tell me what the real
meaning of Christmas is? "
The spirit looked at me, at first, rather with surprise, for
I appeared a man of faith
Yet
Didn't seem to know what was I celebrating,
However,
With a compassionate smile and in a very
Calm voice, willingly, it explained:
" The real meaning of Christmas, my dear man,
Is the rebirth of love in people's hearts.
A rebirth that aims to reestablish
The relationship among the people themselves first, and then
To reinforce their connection with the divine, as the Lord
Meant it to be- pure and holy!
In that way
The love and peace of heavens
Would be enshrined in the heart of every man and
Make people love one another, fact
That would allow compassion to reign upon the earth and
Bring peace to humanity.
Only then the birth of Jesus would make sense
And take its real meaning which could cause
The angels with joy sing -peace on earth and
Alleluia! "
Thus
The spirit of Christmas spoke and gently flew away,
Leaving me pondering on the amount of work humanity has to do
Before achieving peace in people's hearts and on earth, one
Blessed day!
